THE ROLE OF SPORT IN HEALTH-RELATED PROMOTION O...

Enrico Michelini illustrates that sport plays a very marginal role in the contemporary health
promotion. This is the main result of the present analysis of national strategies for the
promotion of physical activity issued by the health ministries of France  Germany  and Italy.
All these health-strategies are rather ambiguous on this subject: They mention sport
systematically as an abstract term  but they marginalise it as a medium of health in its
traditional-competitive form. As a consequence  while sport has generally been considered
healthy over a long period in the past  most health organisations today recommend only moderate
physical activity as conducive to good health. The author examines this paradigmatic change in
the international discussion about the forms of health-enhancing physical activity through a
theoretical framework based on Luhmann's systems theory.
